Sending Faxes Automatically Using the Control Panel

You can send faxes by entering fax numbers for recipients on the control panel.

  1. Place the originals.

    You can send up to 100 pages in one transmission; however depending on the remaining amount of memory, you may not be able to send faxes even with less than 100 pages.

  2. Select Fax on the home screen.

    To select an item, use the buttons, and then press the OK button.

  3. Specify the recipient.

    You can send the same monochrome fax to up to 100 recipients. However, a color fax can only be sent to one recipient at a time.

    • To enter manually: Press the fax number with the number buttons, and then press the OK button.
      - To add a pause (pause for three seconds during dialing), press the button.
      - If you have set an external access code in Line Type, enter "#" (hash) instead of the actual external access code at the beginning of the fax number.
      Note:
      If you cannot manually enter a fax number, Direct Dialing Restrictions in Security Settings is set to On. Select fax recipients from the contacts list or the sent fax history.
    • To select from the contacts list: Press the button and select the recipients you want to send to. If the recipient you want to send to has not been registered in Contacts, register it from Contacts Manager.
      Fax > Menu > Contacts Manager
    • To select from sent fax history: Press the button, and then select a recipient.
    Note:

    To delete recipients you have entered, press the button on the Fax screen, select the recipient, and then press the OK button. Press the button to finish and return to the Fax screen.

  4. Press the OK button, and then select Scan Settings or Fax Send Settings to make settings such as the resolution and the sending method if necessary.

  5. Press the button until you are returned to the Fax screen, and then press the button to send the fax.

  6. When sending is complete, remove the originals.

Note:
  • If the fax number is busy or there is some problem, the printer automatically redials after one minute.

  • To cancel sending, press the button.

  • It takes longer to send a fax in color because the printer performs scanning and sending simultaneously. While the printer is sending a fax in color, you cannot use the other features.
